Autumn blaze

One area of  Yoron is basking

 in the glorious colours of autumn.

Here  it is.  

The spot surrounding this blaze of crimson 

from Yoron vegetation has not yet 

become inundated with tourists.

So now is a chance to enjoy its beauty 

in  total solitude.

(chairs provided on request).  

Hillbillies?

Just back from a trip up 

to the hills of Karuizawa

and down memory lane.

This historic snapshot shows 

the whole family gathered at a 

shack last used by the Brackins 

over 30 years ago.

Amazingly still standing, 

albeit a bit wobbly, 

it has been turned into a cute teahouse. 

A delight to see in this

age of destructive development.
